Also titled Zhuangzi, it is a commentary and extension of the Dao de Jing/Tao Te Ching, in the same way that Mencius' Analects are an exploration of Confucius' thought.
“庄子”又名“庄子”，是“道德经”的注解和延伸，与“论语”是对孔子思想的探索一样。
Written in around 300 BCE during the Warring States period, it is a collection of anecdotes, fables, and stories that are as silly and funny as they are profound and thought provoking.
它写于公元前300年左右的战国时期，是一部轶事、寓言和故事的集合，既荒诞又有趣，但却深刻而发人深省。
Where the Dao De Jing is a distilled and poetic exploration of the Way, Zhuangi takes a much more human and real-world path through the mysteries of the Dao.
“道德经”是对道的提炼和诗意的探索，而“庄子”则走的是一条更人性化、更真实的道路，穿越道的奥秘。
Using often humorous anecdotes, allegories, parables and fables mixed with conversations about particular aspects of the Way.
